April and May was light for me on dramas to follow and one reason was that tvN Sat-Sun drama Shooting Star (Sh**ting Stars) was so underwhelming. It may have gotten better but I didn’t like the first two episodes and that was enough for me. I did tune in from time to time to check out the parade of K-ent … Continue reading →
This may end up being the highlight of this drama, lol, what with the complete disappointment so far in not getting either ratings or buzz. tvN Fri-Sat entertainment industry drama Shooting Star (or Sh**ting Stars) started with ratings of 1.632% and has stayed in that range with a slow slide even with the most recent episode 7 dropping to a … Continue reading →
Well, it looks like the weekend ratings bonanza is over for the time being now that the first batch out of the 2022 gate is over and the current crop unable to match the same audience interest. This weekend had two new premieres, the first was tvN drama Shooting Star which is a Fri-Sat drama and yesterday’s episode 1 was … Continue reading →
Whomever decided to give tvN Fri-Sat drama Shooting Star the official English title of Sh**ting Stars deserves to be flogged. The moment I laid eyes on it I read it a shitting star because hello why else blank blank two letters if not because it’s a bad word.

The star falls in love with someone in his/her entourage has been done to death in K-dramas but when done right remains a compelling well to mine interesting situations and dynamics. One of the best was On Air, one of the underrated Kim Eun Sook dramas, and one of the OTPs was the top actress and agency president. It sounds … Continue reading →
Seeing Lee Sung Kyung and Kim Young Dae collaborating in a new fashion pictorial, it’s clear both have model backgrounds because it’s a visual lesson in how to pose and preen, Models have one second to deliver an impression whereas acting is longer and more varied, so some models suck at acting because every image appears stiff and posed. I … Continue reading →
I’m on such a happy light drama buzz thanks to the early half of Forecasting Love and Weather and now A Business Proposal that this good vibe is extending to a lot of optimism for upcoming tvN drama Shooting Star. The new batch of stills and official poster are just average but Kim Young Dae is bringing a great sense … Continue reading →
I remember K-actress Lee Sung Kyung working nonstop with at least a drama a year after her debut and breakout right off the bat in It’s Okay, It’s Love. She did a few memorable stints in second lead territory before her first lead in Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo in 2016. After that it was lead land permanently but she … Continue reading →
Wow, this drama actually looks good! Or maybe just the teaser looks good, but it looks enough that I’m suddenly sitting up and fully taking note of upcoming tvN Sat-Sun drama Shooting Star. It’s set in the entertainment industry but takes the caper approach rather than the more drab and minutiae take of Record of Youth. There is hijinks galore … Continue reading →
In a stroke of serendipitous timing, veteran K-actress leading lady Choi Ji Woo will be making her first K-drama appearance in 2 years since having her baby in 2020. She will do a guest starring turn in upcoming drama Shooting Star with Lee Sung Kyung and Kim Young Dae. She’ll be playing a top star character in a drama set … Continue reading →
We’re in October now so this may be one of the last K-dramas to air in 2021 with the time remaining. The script reading stills are out for the cast of tvN drama Shooting Star set in the entertainment industry. It sounds and feels a lot like Record of Youth just in overall set up. Starring Lee Sung Kyung and … Continue reading →
